Neolithic societies at Coro Trasito favored deer for making projectile tips, indicating a nuanced approach to species selection in their toolmaking practices. New research led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and CSIC reveals that the earliest Neolithic groups to settle in the Pyrenean site of Coro Trasito used species selection strategies to manufacture their bone tools and chose deer for the projectile tips. The researchers obtained these findings using an innovative combination of methods that had never been applied in a Neolithic site before.

German researchers have created a catalyst that converts ammonia into hydrogen and nitrite, potentially combining hydrogen production and fertilizer creation in one process. A research team from the University Alliance Ruhr in Germany has discovered a catalyst capable of converting ammonia into both hydrogen, an energy carrier, and nitrite, a precursor for fertilizer. Traditionally, the production of hydrogen and fertilizer has involved separate chemical processes.

The study broadly reveals how fast brain waves, previously overlooked, establish fundamental patterns of sleep and wakefulness. Scientists have developed a new method to analyze sleep and wake states by detecting ultra-fast neuronal activity patterns, just milliseconds long, challenging traditional understandings based on slower brain waves. This research also uncovered that individual brain regions can briefly transition between sleep and wake independently, revealing complex, localized brain activities that may reshape our understanding of sleep mechanics.

A study from the University of Michigan has identified a new potential treatment for food allergies using inulin, a plant fiber known for its safety and versatility. The research showed that inulin gel-based oral immunotherapy could effectively prevent allergic reactions in mice by targeting gut bacteria and promoting tolerance to various allergens. This innovative approach could offer sustained relief from food allergies, with further research needed to move towards clinical applications.

NGC 3430, a spiral galaxy in Leo Minor, is spotlighted in this New Hubble Image. In this stunning Hubble Space Telescope image, we are treated to a wonderfully detailed snapshot of NGC 3430. A spiral galaxy, it lies 100 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo Minor. Several other galaxies are located relatively near to this one, just out of frame. In fact, oone is close enough that gravitational interaction drives some star formation in NGC 3430.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

A study has revealed that galaxies possess a regulatory mechanism similar to a heart and lungs, which controls their growth by limiting gas absorption. This mechanism, involving a supermassive black hole and its jet emissions, prevents galaxies from expanding too rapidly, ensuring their longevity and preventing premature aging into “zombie” galaxies.

A new study calls into question the level of processing as a proxy for diet quality. Recent research challenges the notion that minimally processed foods automatically lead to a healthier diet, revealing that both minimally and ultra-processed diets can be equally nutritious or lacking in nutritional value. The study highlighted that minimally processed diets might be costlier and have shorter shelf lives without additional nutritional benefits, emphasizing the complexity of defining diet quality by processing levels alone.
